Poker Grinders

Hello. i want to keep this blog updated with my poker progress but I keep neglecting it. So here another attempt at it. In case anybody actually read my blog, a lot has changed. In my personal Life, I moved to an apartment. It’s a 2bed/2bath apartment. The 2nd bedroom I’m using it as my playroom/poker room. Because of my move, I don’t have a ton of disposable income like I use to, therefore moving to the online microNL games makes a lot of sense with my tiny bankroll. I don’t got a working digital camera, but once I get one I’ll post a picture.

Now on to Poker. I’ve decided to stop playing live poker at Hawaiian Gardens. There was a variety of reasons for it. I feel there more room to learn and grow as a student of the game by playing online. When I’m at the table in a live game after a session, I can only remember a few key hands. Even then I don’t remember all the details, mostly my opponents exact stack size. The live games here in southern california are designed to be very volatile and favors the beginner. This is largely due to the buy-in amounts. I was playign the $40 buy-ins with blinds at $1/$2 regularly. The game designed to m ake you a short stack and be aggressive right from the start. Even when you get to the point where you ‘ve got 100bb, your opponents generally have only 20bb - 40bb. I tent to treat these games as a pre-flop and flop only decision games.

I’m mostly a Linux guy. Except for using Windows at work, all my systems at home are linux. Recently I installed Windows onto one of my box. I know it goes against my anti-microsoft philosophy, but I had to do it to make sure all the poker software are running correctly. I also purchased Holdem Manager, which so far is awesome. I’m stilling trying to set it up exactly the way I want it. My computer all setup to play poker. Watch out microNL here I come.
